Hamilton anyone?

Well, this looks very nice. No date, cathedral hands, steel, 10 bar WR, 42 mm case, 11 mm thick, big crown, 80 hr PR, 22 mm lugs. Lovely arabic font, too.
Now, despite the assumed kickback with 42 mm case, with the bezel, the dial itself looks like a good size.
Plus, historically, pilot's watches were a bit oversized, so without going to silly 47-50 mm case, this may be just the thing. I have one on order from my local AD.
Very good thickness for 10 bar automatic piece as well.
I guess it was a special working prop made for movie Interstellar (2014) which I never saw. Five years later, brought to market. I am hopeful it looks as nice in person as it does in photo.
For perspective: the Hamilton 50 mm Field Mechanical Watch, applied indices and all... also 10 bar WR but 24 mm lugs. This is real, I saw it in person, and it was quite amusing on the wrist! Obviously, not my cup of tea
Notice the date is almost hidden by residing in the spot for the 15 hour marker of the 24 hour arabics.
